DULCIMER PICKUP

The Blue Lion - L.R. Baggs dulcimer pickup has been designed to faithfully
reproduce a warm acoustic sound with superior balance and excellent volume
without feedback. The pickup replaces the bridge on your dulcimer and
a combination tailpiece jack and strap button completes the package. The
installation is completely unobtrusive and does not change the look or
the sound of your acoustic dulcimer.

The picture shows the pickup installed in a bass dulcimer with a pickup
and a strap jack lying on the table in front of the instrument.

The value of having a pickup in your dulcimer lies in the freedom it
gives you to play in a wide variety of situations. It works wonderfully
well on stage, but is also an easy way to "compete" with groups
of instruments such as guitars, banjos and hammered dulcimers in a jam.
Even a small, easily portable amplifier will give your dulcimer enough
presence to hold its own against louder instruments and you will have
the option of playing as loudly or as softly as you choose.

The pickup can be ordered with any new dulcimer. Retrofit installation
is available for all Blue Lion dulcimers and may be possible on
other brands as well; the limiting factor for instruments built by other
companies is the width of the fretboard (it must be 1 1/2") and the
position of the bridge relative to the tailblock of the instrument. In
order to be properly installed, the bridge must rest over the cavity of
the instrument, and not over the solid tail block at the tail end of the
instrument. If you have any questions about your specific instrument be
sure and check with us.

We recommend the L.R. Bagg's Para Acoustic DI equalizer to provide
the best acoustic sound under all conditions. The impedance matching
and graphic equalization potential of this preamp will provide you
with a better acoustic sound and more control over the output in
any (and all) situations. The Para Acoustic D.I. is a studio quality
direct box combined with a feature packed, state-of-the-art preamp
and equalizer. The L.R. Bagg's proprietary Quasi-Passive EQ
circuitry is totally transparent and allows control over voicing
without sacrificing tonea big advance over conventional equalizers. (List price: $229.00)
